Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were referred to in the scriptures as "good-for-nothing men," only interested in satisfying their bellies and unclean sexual desires. Eli's greedy sons use their position at the tent of meeting to carry on vice and theft at the expense of God's pure worship. Eli does not oust them from office but merely rebukes them mildly. Eli keeps honoring his sons more than God. In the course of time a prophet of God comes with a desire message of warning: The power and influence of the house of Eli is to be chopped off, so that there will not come to be an old man in his house. His corrupt sons are appointed to die in one day. (1 Sa 2:27-36)
